Can we actually achieve metric-ton siRNA production today using enzymatic ligation? While the ligation step is highly scalable, upstream "blockmer" synthesis remains the primary bottleneck. Advancing RNA Live panelists Claire McCleod and Jill Caswell discuss the shift from "scaling out" to "scaling up" and lessons learned in the process of achieving larger scale production.
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
Three LNP experts share their thoughts on the incremental advancements they’d like to see the RNA-LNP space make in the next few years.
Life Edit Therapeutics’ April Sena provides an update on NIST’s gene editing consortium, teasing forthcoming deliverables from a working group focused on gRNA quality.
